Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, the governor of Anambra State, has denied rumors of a $20 million Anambra State investment in Sabmiller Group, IgbereTV reports
Mr Christian Aburime, the governor’s Chief Press Secretary, stated in a statement released on Saturday that the statement attributed to Soludo was absolutely incorrect, and that the governor never made or published such a declaration.
Aburime encouraged the Anambra people and the broader public to disregard the “misleading” report in a press release headed “Re: $20 million Anambra State investment in Sabmiller Group.”
The statement read in part, “The above news trending online in some social media handles, alleging that Anambra State Governor, Prof Chukwuma Charles Soludo announced today; 29-04-2022, that the $20m which former Governor of the state, Mr Peter Obi invested on behalf of Anambra State in Sabmiller Group is now worth $100m.
“The writer further claimed that from today; 29-04-2022, Anambra State now owns the highest share in the global company.
“This is to notify the public that the statement allegedly credited to Prof. Chukwuma Charles Soludo is completely false. The governor never made or issued any statement to that effect.
